Sowing

Timing: Plant onion seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date in your region. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost.
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a pH around 6.0 to 7.0. Work in compost for added nutrients.
Sowing Method: Sow onion seeds thinly in trays or pots filled with potting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the soil consistently moist.
Light and Temperature: Place the trays in a warm, well-lit area or under grow lights. Onions need ample sunlight and temperatures around 68-77°F (20-25°C) for optimal growth.
Thinning and Transplanting: Thin the seedlings to encourage robust growth, and transplant them outdoors once they're about pencil-thick or have 3-4 leaves.
Spacing: Plant the transplanted seedlings about 4-6 inches apart in rows separated by 12-18 inches.
Watering and Mulching: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvesting: Onions can be harvested when the tops have fallen over and started to dry. Lift the bulbs gently and let them cure in a warm, dry place.
